Car leather seats can endure damage overtime, which is never
good. However, read our tips about using various remedies for this issue.
What do I do if my leather seat is torn? Well, we would
suggest using a Leather Sticker to fix it.
First, let’s take a look at the steps.
- Clean the car leather seat with a wet towel
2. Choose the leather sticker that is the best match to the leather seat in your car
3. Peel the protective film off the prepared leather placard
4. Position the patch along the hole in the seat
5. The patch must dry fully before use. It is recommended to wait one or two days
6. The final product will prove to be most satisfactory!

will not come off
What do I do if there is a crack in my leather?
Depending on the size of the crack, you may want to try
acrylic resin or a woven lining. Acrylic resin, soft polyurethane SC-9311,
PU-3001, PU1-02, etc. are most likely to product better results. In the event
that the you are unable to attain this, pigment paste or matte paste could be
used to repair the crack, however, it will not work as well. It can be more
difficult to use and may not last as long.

- Using the squeegee, brush the smear. This can be
done multiple times but only if the material is dry - Use the same color paste for the finish
What if something is stuck in the tear and I cannot close
the tear correctly?
In this situation, you would have to get whatever is under
the surface out. Or, in other words, use the excavation method

or round hole - Make sure the edge is inclined outward
- Then, remove the spare skin underneath and make
a square or circle
How do I fix my leather seat cover if there is a cigarette
burn?
- First wipe the surface clean. If the damage is
not deep, it can be directly coated with leather to keep the original appearance - Cover the damaged surface with a leather
adhesive. Possible sanding with sandpaper might be necessary to create a smooth
finish. Once this is done, paint the area to match the original appearance
You can also use Leather repair cream. Once the cream is
applied to the hole, use the scraper tool to evenly scrape the leather patch.
The damaged area of the coating should not be too large. Then dry it with a
hair dryer. Once this is done, you can use sandpaper to smooth out the repaired
area.

What’s more, the best way to keep your leather seat covers
looking good, is to keep up with the maintenance that goes with it.
Maintenance for Leather:
- Cleaning your leather seats is essential. This
must be done on a regular basis to keep up with the maintenance aspect of your
leather. Certain cleaning agents should be used to clean the dust and stains on
the leather surface. Avoid any bacterial or garbage contaminants as these could
cause erosion damage to the leather seats. Be sure to keep the seats dry and
clean. - Do not soak your seats. Some leather seat car
owners will not clean their seats regularly and then will soak their seats to
get the stains and dirt out. This will not benefit the material in the long
run. You will quickly notice damage to the leather and abrasions. - Keep away from heat sources. While leather seat
covers can be compatible with heated seats, long term exposure can cause
damage. Be mindful of using this feature with your leather seat covers. Long
term exposure can cause cracks in the seats. Also, avoid exposing the leather
to too much sun as this will cause the material to fade. - Ingeniously, faltliquoring. Yes, this sounds
like a crazy word but, it’s a real thing. Faltliquoring is a process that
involves using oil on the leather after tannage but prior to the leather
drying. This process is usually used for light leathers and coats the fibers of
the material to keep them in- tact.
